Should couples combine & make all financial matters fifty-fifty when marrying late in life? (17)
NO. Not for Americans. Not any more. At least 50% of American marriages end in divorce (approx the 4th year), the more marriages, the more likely to end in divorce.
(I guess it gets easier to leave).

Nope for later in life both would have offspring,
I would say both pool a certain amount to cover all bills food etc then have own bank accounts to do as one pleases, bailing kids out etc

Thanks...... I get that but what about marital property or non marital property that probably becomes marital property. Take a home or condo (none rental property) that eventually would become a 50-50 co-ownership marital property (on separation or divorce) however the lower income wage earner’s income only allows them to say contribute and pay 30% of a couple’s mortgage?

Martial property; It depends on the state, you got married in.------ This poll is Archived ------

True, in Ohio, i believe If the homeowner partner always pays the mortgage, insurance premiums, real estate taxes etc from their own income for property they owned before a marriage, that property cant be considered marital property. I may be wrong about this, but i doubt it. ------ This poll is Archived ------

I never heard about that, and if true.. that does not protect offspring. See what I mean? A wife and 3 kids would be on the street, because the husband is doing 9-5.------ This poll is Archived ------

Keep in mind also, that spouse and partner are two different things. And "partner" does not have many rights. (Nor should they

I'm in favor of a pre-nup stating that in the event of a divorce both parties should be awarded what they came into the marriage with....bank accounts, tangible items, grandmas's vase, automobiles, jewelry, real estate, etc. and the most important of all and who gets the dog.
If both parties were working during the marriage then the income during that time should be split 50/50 including the refund on tax returns.
If stocks/bonds were purchased during the marriage they should be sold or one party can buy out the other party. But if he/she came into the marriage with stocks/bonds then they belong to the person who purchased them.
In my divorce my husband got every single dollar that was in the bank. All I wanted was sole custody of our daughter and I got it. I had every right to ask for alimony because he was an alcoholic who abused me but I didn't want that either.
I got the most important thing......our daughter who I raised by myself.

I can’t imagine someone abusing you.If both parties were working during the marriage then the income during that time should be split 50/50 including the refund on tax returns.

Yep understand but sell house, buy new for new memories for both, when kids are involved we over here can buy half the house, not joint buyers if you get me, so still your half house can be inherited by your own family,.
